Earth Echoes

Via The Doomed DAO:
“The first iteration of this artwork was published on X’s tumblr in 2012.”
Via Jediwolf:
“Fascinating redistribution dynamics to watch. Three… Earth editions were released by OG collectors and artists who have held them since 2019-2020: Zaphodok, Moderats (still has one), MLOdotArt. The first wave of collectors is changing before our eyes.”

Closing Thoughts
A few interesting deep cuts today with a Beeple Artifact, a nice looking Squiggle, and several specific DeepBlack artworks changing hands.
The deck is cleared on PAGGAGE CLAIM by Joe Pease in the 2-3 ETH range with three sales in two weeks. The /75 Fake Rares BTC edition with half wrapped on ETH now legs up to new listings at 3.39 ETH (~$9k) and 0.175 BTC (~$11k).
The Shape L2 launch (September 30th) represents next expected art fireworks, but let’s see what the week prior has in store.
